There is every prospect OF large
business enterprise being immedi-
ately established at Harper's Ferry.
In 1884 Mr.. Slavery, of Wilmington,
Delaware, purchased the property
which, before the war, was used by
the Government for the manufacture
of arms, and he is now erecting a
pulp mill, to be followed by a paper
mill. The pulp mill is to be on the
site of the old rifle factory on the
Shenandoah and will cost $3.50, 600.
He employs at this time between so
and 100 hands and some % teams
and his payroll amounts to $500
week. The paper mill will be locat-
ed in the armory yard on the Poto-
mac, and it is in contemplation to
make it one of the largest in the
country. Mr.. Slavery is reputed to
he man of means, with strong fl
nancial backing. He is Vice Presi-
dent of the Pusy, Jones Company, of
Wilmington, builders of all kinds OF
machinery and steam boats. He is
also interested in the York Haven,
pa. J, Paper Company. This con-
Germ was organized in 1884 and pur-
chased an old grist mill site on the
Susquehannah below Harrisburg.
In 80 months they expended on that
property 100000 and established
one of the most profitable paper mills
in the country. This old grist mill
was located in a desolate place but
there is now at that point quite a
considerable village, large enough to
support three churches and public
school. There was some apprehen-
sion that Savery's operations at the
Ferry would be interrupted by liti
CATION: but that danger has passed.
1t appears that the Harper's Ferry
Mill Company claims title to part
of the land which Slavery considers
he purchased from the Government.
The place in controversy is situated
a short distance below the founda.
tions of the old rifle works, and it so
happens that Slavery commenced
work on property the title to which
is disputed. The Harper's Ferry
Mill company applied to the court
for an injunction to restrain Slavery
from using the property until the ii
tie was determined in court Of law.
Judge Beckwith granted an injunc
ton which, as it appears, will not
interfere with the work now in prog
ress. Slavery is injoined from using
only part of the property, but he is
not restrained rs to the place where
he is at present at work and conse-
quently the injunction, as granted,
will not interrupt his operations.
The late Abram Herr was the
owner of the Harper's Ferry mill
property and conveyed the same by
warrantee deed to Yantis and Nc
Craight, who conveyed to the Har
per's Mill Company. 1t is supposed
by some of the parties that if the
Mill Company fail to recover the
land in question, Heirs estate will
be liable on his warrantee of title.
In the litigation now pending, Mr..
Herr's interest is represented by
Mr.. Trapnell, the Harper's Ferry
Mill Company by Mr.. Travers, and
Savory by Messrs. Butt and Lucas.

Ask for Stonebraker's Hog Powders.
We would much rather YOU would be-
agreeably surprised at the good results
from the use Of Stoncbraker's Prepare
tons than paint pretty pictures 10 your
mind and you not get the worth OF your
money when the test comes. Should
YOU doubt any statement we make,
please take the trouble TO ask some Of
your neighbors about Stonebraker's
Preparations. Most every family in the
United States knows something of the
wonderful merits and curative powers
of Stonebraker's celebrated family med
icines and standard preparations, sold

times we are asked the questions: Are
StOnebraker's Horse and Cattle Powders
good for Chickens? We reply no; but,
saws the customers, we can get Horse
and Cattle Powders which read: "Good
for Chickens, too" That's very true;
YOU can get Il so-called Rheumatic cure
that is advertised to make hens lay, but
that is just why YOU should not throw
your money away for such stuff. You
have common sense to see through the
deception, and should keep your money
i'm Your pocket. BETTER give it TO the
poor than invest ii in such commodities.
Stonebraker's Horse and Cattle Powders
are for Horses and Cattle. Give your
Horse well ventilated stable, good dry
bed, kind treatment, and moderate feed.
with Stonebraker's Horse and Cattle
Powders in il, and you will always have

Good Results in Every Case.

d. A. Bradford, Wholesale paper
dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes
that he was seriously afflicted with
a severe cold that settled on his
lungs: had tried many remedies
without benefit. Being induced to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, did so and was en-
tirely cured by use of a few bottles.
Since which time he has used it In
his family for all Coughs and Colds,
with the best results. This is the
experience of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this Wonderful
Discovery. Trial bottles free at
Geo. T. Lights drug store.

About the only reason urged against
my election was opposition to my
methods, and, as the State was car
ried in 1884 and also at the last
election under Chairman LeOnard's
methods, it is only fair that if they
know OF better and surer methods
they should have a chance to put
them in operation. l believe in
progress and am always willing to
learn.
We make this reply: The State
was carried IN 1884 because the
Ring was fortunately defeated in
the Wheeling convention. The last
campaign was a ''still-hunt, and
every step in its progress was mark
ed by hypocrisy and deception. For
example, subsidized press pre-
tended that it supported Mr.. Cam
den because he was in favor of leg
islation to protect our people against
railroad discrimination and yet all
his supporters did what they could
to defeat this same proposition when
offered in the Legislature.
The following paragraphs from
this interview are intensely amusing
to those acquainted with the inside
working Of West Virginia politics.
REPORTER. Mr.. Lucas says, that
the questions in the contest Of 1888
Will be opposition to railroad sOyer-
eighty, opposition to free passes and
to endorse Gov. Wilson's ideas on
taxation.
The Senator smiled as he said:
when the party reaches the alti-
tude of this ideal platform it will re
quire a corresponding organization
of purity and economy in methods
TO make the structure harmonious
in all its parts
REPLY. Mr.. Camden is right.
The true policy is to place party
management in the hands of men
who desire to substitute argument
and discussion for money instead
of buying voters, reason with them.
We are glad Mr.. Camden has spo-
ken and we sincerely trust that he
means what he says; we hope the
fight is over and that the effort to
continue Ring rule is ended. Let
there be a new deal in West Virginia
politics; let our candidates be men
who never practice deception and
who are trusted most by those who
know them best
Bat, since it is agreed that the
next campaign shall be conducted
on this basis, we have a right to eX-
pect the hearty cooperation of Mr.
Camden and his friends; they must
join with us to prevent the nomina-
tion Of men who try to succeed by
deceiying voters and whose profess
sions are contradieted by their ac-
tions. There are in this State
sufficient number of good and true
men to man the ship; let Mr.. Cam
den aid the effort to nominate them.
Those who resisted the Ring have
opposed the methods of the organi-
zation; they have not opposed the
organization. The organization is
one thing; its methods are another
thing. To fight the methods is not
To fight the organization. 1t il
agreed, that the methods are to be
changed and hence, there is no
cause OF difference unless we dis
agree as to what shall be the doc
trines of the party. On this subject
We will speak in our next issue
